Three
secondary school students who were kidnapped from their school in
Nigeria's biggest city, Lagos, have been found, police said on
Sunday.
"From
midnight to the early hours today (Sunday) we were able to rescue
them," Lagos State police spokeswoman Dolapo Badmus told AFP.
The
three girls were seized from a dormitory last Monday at the Babington
Macaulay Junior Seminary School in the eastern suburb of Ikorodu.
The
abduction sparked a massive search for the teenagers and the prompted
the state government to tighten security at schools across the megacity,
which is home to some 20 million people.
No
further details were immediately available and police have previously
refused to comment on local media reports of demands for a
200-million-naira (nearly $1 million, 900,000-euro) ransom.
Abductions from schools are rare in Lagos, although kidnapping for ransom by armed criminals is common in southern states.
